Great news! I remember that you said there were problems with the original
install of MPTS/PEER and at boot up the MPTS configuration failed to start up
correctly, so I suspect that something in the MPTS/PEER area got clobbered
with the playing around. Re-doing the install sorted out the parts that had
been "bent" enough to make it all work (as it should do)...

Cheers.........pk.
